Maintenance fluid and filter questions.

Do yourself a favor and get a transmission pan with drain plug. Makes it much easier to drain and fill again. 6 quarts.

Thank you for the links, I have everything ordered. Just waiting for it all to arrive. That trans pan with a drain plug is something I'd definitely look into. Appreciate the help

Can I change the front diff fluid and t-case while the front of the vehicle is on ramps or should it be level as possible?

I just performed all this same maintenance last fall except for the trans service which I paid to have done but now be replacing the valve body and rebuilding the TECHM so please share your experience going though the pan removal! Regarding the other items, I used ramps for the front and then jacked the rear up on jackstands to what appeared to be level. The t-case was easy, drain and fill as was the front diff. The rear diff cover removal went well too and I reused the gasket without any issues or leaks! I also did the power steering fluid replacement as well while I was doing it all. My fluid was pretty dark but no major glistening metal or anything. Plug had some metal on it though but I have no issues noteworthy.

Level for them. There are drain and fill plugs on each. So, if you have the front jacked up, you won't get enough in the t-case on refill and possibly too much in the front diff. 4 jack stands is best if you don't have a lift
